[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1567922, member: 37967"] I would have to respectfully disagree. Why would you want to take a purebred Angus here and dilute them? Take a look at the newest Midland test report, it’s the one called “Final Progress Report” The ADG difference between Angus and Simmental was almost a rounding error in favor of Simmental. On top of that the Angus had vastly more data to draw upon in the test. I think there were only a handful of Simmental versus pages of Angus. The Angus performance was excellent, and I think Midland is a good measurement for overall performance. I’m crossing SAV genetics back with Baldridge Colonel, VAR, Bubs Southern Charm, and a few others, and it works. So far I like the heft that SAV brings to the table, but the epds that Baldridge Colonel can deliver. I know what I said will probably get a lot of flack, but our Angus have plenty of vigor, and we get very solid ADG numbers without sacrificing marbling and $YG scores. I’m not telling the original poster what to do, but I would DNA test everything, get a good idea of where I stand and then aggressively improve. Use every tool that Angus has to make that money.
